Text Fwd: GNP commences national security drive 한나라당 국가 안보 추진 개시

HankyorehGNP commences national security drive:Observers say the Lee government has moved to dodge criticisms of security incompetence and cite a “quasi-wartime state” to justify railroading legislationDec. 11, 2010By Ahn Chang-hyun, Staff Writer

“Yeonpyeong Island was turned into a sea of fire, yet we have these out-of-their-minds pro-North Korea types and North Korea puppets calling for dialogue to build a permanent peace regime.”

This was the statement made by Grand National Party floor leader Kim Moo-sung during a Nov. 28 meeting with journalists. The “out-of-their-minds pro-North Korea types and North Korea puppets” he referred to were the Democratic Party and other opposition parties. During the National Assembly’s adoption of a resolution denouncing North Korea on Nov. 25, opposition parties had tried to insert a phrase about “building a permanent peace regime,” which was rejected by the ruling GNP.

Following an increased sense of security vulnerability and surging citizen anger about the deaths of civilians following the artillery attack on Yeonpyeong Island, the Lee Myung-bak government launched a national security drive, calling for a hardline military response. This was accompanied by a political offensive pinning responsibility for the national security concerns on the Sunshine Policy of the Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun administrations. Apparently factoring into this attitude from the Lee government was the determination that it might be possible to use citizen indignation toward North Korea to deal a simultaneous blow to North Korea and the opposition and quell criticisms of the government’s flawed response to the attack.

The site is managed by an artist living in the South Korea. The photo in the profile is the children in Osan, near the Pyeongtaek where the planned US military base hub in the north east Asia and a large US air base exists. They are the children of a teacher who manages the Children Peace School there. As a part of the class programs, the children in the class drew and wrote in a cloth, their wishes of the peaceful unification of Korea some day.
